WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

Scott Galloway Urges Young Men: Real Masculinity Means Voting Harris

  1. Scott Galloway publicly endorses the Harris–Walz ticket and argues that a Harris administration would materially benefit young men more than a second Trump term.
  2. He frames his case around a three-part “modern masculinity” code: being a provider, a protector, and a procreator, and links each pillar to policy and cultural implications.
  3. For providers, he emphasizes long‑term economic growth, lower deficits, and targeted supports for housing and small business as advantages under Harris compared with Trump’s deficit expansion, which he calls a deferred tax on the young.
  4. For protectors and procreators, he connects support for marginalized groups and women’s bodily autonomy with a healthier society, stronger relationships, and even greater sexual freedom for young men.

IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

5 ideas

Young men are a crucial, underutilized voting bloc.

Because they traditionally turn out less, but lean Democratic when engaged, Galloway argues young men could significantly influence the election if mobilized.

Modern masculinity can be organized around three roles: provider, protector, procreator.

He suggests men need a clear ‘code’ and proposes economic responsibility, protecting others, and building families as anchors in a confusing world.

Deficits function as a massive future tax on young people.

Galloway claims Trump’s policies would triple the deficit relative to a Harris administration, meaning older generations consume benefits now while younger generations pay later.

Economic policy directly affects men’s ability to be providers.

He cites growth-focused plans, housing credits, and small-business loans under Harris as mechanisms that put more money in younger people’s pockets and support household responsibility.

Authentic masculinity includes protecting vulnerable groups, not attacking them.

He argues that “real men” defend immigrants, LGBTQ people, and others being demonized, and praises Tim Walz’s story of mobilizing a football team to defend bullied LGBTQ students.

Your default setting as a man should be one of protection. Real men break up fights in bars. They don’t start them.

— Scott Galloway

What young people haven’t connected the dots on is that deficit spending is nothing but a tax on them, such that I can have champagne and cocaine now. You’re gonna have to pay it back, not me.
